OHS Unit

What is Safe Work Australia about?

Safe Work Australia Week is a national week to focus attention on workplace safety issues around Australia. It aims to encourage all working Australians to get involved in, and concentrate on, safety in their workplace to reduce death, injury and disease.

This year the OHS unit is holding activities/events to raise awareness of health and safety issues in the workplace.  All staff are encouraged to get involved in the Safe Work Australia Week Initiative ‘because safety is everybody’s business'.

Refer to Safe Work Australia for further information.
